Abstract
WW domains are small protein-protein interaction modules that recognize proline-rich stretches in proteins. The class II tandem WW domains of the formin binding protein 11 (FBP11) recognize specifically proteins containing PPLPp motifs as present in the formins that are involved in limb and kidney development, and in the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2), associated with the Rett syndrome. The interaction involves the specific recognition of a leucine side-chain. Here, we report on the novel structure of the complex formed by the FPB11WW1 domain and the formin fragment APPTPPPLPP revealing the specificity determinants of class II WW domains.
Figure 1.
Figure 1. The WW domain sequences and classes. Amino acid sequence of selected WW domains grouped in classes according to ligand specificity.4 Classes/ligand motifs: class II PPLPp (magenta), class III (p/ )P(p/g)PPpR or (p/ )PPRgpPp (orange), class IV (poS/poT)P (green) and class I PPxY (blue). Conserved amino acid residues are in bold; amino acid residues on the b-strand face where binding occurs are grey-shaded; amino acid residues responsible for class specificity are colored. The asterisk (*) indicates sequences assumed to be FBP11 orthologs.

Figure 4. Comparison of WW and SH3 domain complexes. (a) Schematic representation of a WW domain showing important regions for ligand recognition. Residues conserved for all WW domains are displayed in blue. Positions changing between the WW domain specificity classes are shown in green, next to which the amino acid types and their corresponding WW domain classes are indicated in parentheses.
